Look out! A Fellow from the University of Cambridge has just rolled past Sheffield.
Doncaster?
I don't know. He was moving quickly - so I didn't get a clear view. But let's be honest - it's unlikely that a single pivoting roller attached to the bottom of his shoe would allow such speedy transit. So now, after some consideration, I believe that he was travelling by skateboard. Perhaps with additional propulsion from friendly neighbourhood pets. Y'know. Dogs, cats, parrots etc.

Who is this wiseguy? Go get a real pun!

Hello Adam. Sorry! I thought my pun was ok…, an expression that achieves emphasis or humour by contriving an ambiguity, two distinct meanings being suggested either by the same word… that’s right isn’t it? I’m suggesting that there’s a Don on a caster… do you get it? That way he can roll past Sheffield (maybe to Doncaster?!) and create humour by doing so. I like your website – but the formatting is all over the place on IE at work. Fine on Firefox, though.
Also you may like to know that when Alexei Sayle looked up “thesaurus” in the thesaurus. “It simply said, in big black frightening letters: “Don’t piss about with the system, fat boy! We know where you live and we know what you get up to on Thursdays in Kentish Town…” I slammed the book shut and waited for my heart to stop pounding.”
Bye!

Yes, but.
I agree that Doncaster contains both the elements “Don” and “Caster”.
If the place were called “Dononacaster”, I may have more time for your Sayle-quotery. As it is, I am left feeling confused and unsatisfied.
Also, alas, this is not my website, although I wish it were.
Ciao!
