Lol, hmm. I've never heard that word before, so it's not the one I was thinking of. But it's probably more accurate. Ta!

Fast military jets use a stick.
Getting a bit tired of the old dyspraxia. It's such an odd disability. Probably the most noticable bit is the screwy short term memory. Basically I can process short, quick information very swiftly. But anything more complex and I find myself reading and rereading stuff and the information not going in.
It's been my bane at work and has really put me off going for any sort of promotion in years. I just know I'll get caught out.
So of late I've been going for on line writing jobs. And after building my rep on elance by doing lots of "1000 funny captions for $150" and "50 jokes for $100" find myself invited to try out for a much more interesting job writing ap content. I get the email with the task on it.
Read it, reread it. It's not going in. Shit.
Thanks for bearing with me.

I thought it was just called the gearstick. They never tested me before they let me fly that plane

I don't think they shift gears all that much on aircraft. 
Joystick?
I have thus far called it 'the controls'.
Very specific, me.

No but Tescos banned you for refusing to get out of the Budgie the Helicopter simulator and making all those kids cry.

Aw. Sooty: everyone's favourite dyspraxic.
Thanks all though I'm sure there's someone more famous than me and more popular.

P.S. What the heck is that thing called in a plane that the pilot pulls back and forward to make the plane go about its business?
Yoke or Joystick
Joystick sounds a bit Commodore 64!
But I shall make a note.

Fred West?
It does not feel like it's 7:40. More like about 3.

Then how do they take off and land, and go a bit quicker in the air when everyone's asleep and not looking out the windows to notice?

F**k them. Did they bring their own goggles? No.
