Bob Carswell delivers a weekly programme of great Manx Gaelic broadcasting and entertainment. King Orry didn't build Castle Rushen in limestone after his conquest in 1079. William Gell's anachronistic tale prompts us to find out more, but we'll not let that stand in the way of a good tale - nor the tongue-in-cheek rhymes he uses, either. Our story in Manx is a curious one - if the things we decided not to say out loud, all the silly jokes we decided not to tell and all our forgotten nightmares were to be made flesh, what sort of creature would it be?
