I wonder, could I use a small chisel, bash it in about a cm and then twist
??

Maybe you could careful drill out the old plugs. If you use a very small
bit and drill a couple of times it may be enough splinter the plugs?
A bit fiddly tho

All,
I am about to lay laminate and will remove all the skirting to replace
with
decent stuff. The current skirting is held in place with screws, covered
up
by round plugs cut from scrap, and hammered into place to hide the
holes/screw heads. I could use a wrecking bar to lever the old skirting
off,
but I would much rather take out the old plugs and unscrew neatly -
preserving the old holes for the new skirting. Is there a simple way of
doing this ?? Is there a tool that will do the job ??
