    Why do you want to use butane on a propane piece of kit?
    There is stuff on youtube on how to refil propane canisters (even single use canisters).

    James Bowman Lindsay had an electric light bulb before Edison was born.
    But who invented the light bulb?

    Have never used them, looks far too much hassle, and not cheap.

    Just had a look at the dfs website and plenty of sofas at half price.
    Thats before you start haggling that they are reducing the prices: therefore there is a LOT of padding in their prices (we assume their sofas are padded), so if you start haggling properly then you will get it for whatever you want to pay.

    Not Much of an Engineer by Sir Stanley Hooker.

    Everything from Spitfires to the RB211, Hooker was involved.
    He was at Barnoldswick (land of HOPE) in WW2.
    Hooker had an inspirational and incredible career: from boosting the power of the Merlin engine, involved in the pioneering development of the jet engine alongside Frank Whittle, to coming out of retirement to pick Rolls-Royce up off its knees when it went bust in 1971 (the trouble with carbon fibre is that when it goes bust so can companies that rely on it).

    The title of the book Not Much…. is what the boss of Rolls-Royce said to him, but if anyone needs an example of how much an exceptionaly talented physicist can achieve and have a rewarding career then Sir Stan is your man.

    Rocol Dry Moly Spray is like a paint and can help prevent galling.

    http://www.finishing.com/Library/titanium.html
    "With specifics to titanium, its corrosion resistance is compromised by exposure to halides such as chlorides or fluorides. Residual chlorides lead to stress corrosion cracking while fluorides readily attack the natural oxide that protects titanium from atmospheric corrosion. In addition, due to titanium’s extremely passive nature, when titanium components are in contact with more electrochemically active materials such as aluminum, zinc or copper, where the materials meet there is such a galvanic charge generated due to the dissimilar metal junction, galvanic corrosion is wildly accelerated beyond what either metal by itself would experience.

    Another shortcoming and that most often associated with titanium is galling. When titanium slides against titanium it tends to gall or stick more so than any other metal combination. Similarly, titanium to titanium parts in threaded combination “cold weld” making disassembly impossible without destroying the parts. In order to prevent this, typically dry film lubricants are applied over suitably prepared titanium (i.e. either anodized or conversion coated)."
    Galling can happen with aluminium or titanium (also with stainless steel).

    crevice corrosion
    "The limiting factor for application of titanium and its alloys to aqueous chloride environments appears to be crevice corrosion. When crevices are present, unalloyed titanium will sometimes corrode under conditions not predicted by general corrosion rates (See Crevice Corrosion). TIMET studies have shown that pH and temperature are important variables with regard to crevice corrosion in brines."

    "quicker turn around"

    …. what?
    shares that go up quickly?
    shares go up, shares go down (something like buses) there will be another dip along soon if you miss this one.

    What bank are you with?
    Most banks will have have some form of share dealing, even in your branch you will be able to buy shares and get a share certificate (old style). But setting up an on-line share-dealing account will take time.

    TD Waterhouse seem quite popular.

    "Something i could put £500 into this week but cash in any time from the next day to 3-4 months in the future without going though all the hassle/paperwork of an ISA and using my ISA allowance."

    3-4 months is a short time in shares if you are hoping to make money on £500.
    If it was £1million that you were investing then that is different.

    It might be a year before you make a profit in shares, or break even:
