Zooming past us in seconds was a narrowboat called... Nomad Rush.
Other boaters along the towpath had their mouths agape at their speed.
They stopped at the water pipe. So not really in a rush, eh?
We've seen this boat before but where... Hebden Bridge? Brighouse?

Some people are so clever with boat names. Its very impressive.
Nomad Rush.
Nomad - A nomad is a member of a community of people who live in different locations, moving from one place to another in search of grasslands for their animals.
Rush. To be in a hurry. Also a drug reference.
Nomad Rush -
No mad rush - to not be in a particular hurry with the implication that it is important to mention this to others.
Clever shit man.

It's a crap name in my opinion. 50% of boat names make me want to vomit.

Are you not at least just a little bit in awe of the intellect which came up with such a clever name?
I am. Another incredibly original one (one of my favourites) was called "adenuff".
Had enough. Geddit ?

The name allows that. Nomad rush. Same as "pleb rush" but with the word "nomad" instead of "pleb".
The name is so clever that it can indicate someone in a rush (a nomad) or imply if you read between the lines that there is no (mad) rush.
Its an ironic name. Very very clever.

I think your being ironic, well I hope so. |

Of course it could mean they have seen a lot of bullrushes beside the canals, but no mad ones.
Does anyone have registered a NB Stupid Name?

I wondered about "how long is a boat name allowed to be is this too long" .
Why did the bull rush ?

Foxy, your mate Nomad Rush (cream cabin) has been moored on the plaza in Skipton for a few days now. Just thought you might like to know.

Great Reed Mace is often incorrectly called Bullrush.
A story suggests the confusion is due to Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema's painting entitled ' Moses in the Bullrushes'.
However his painting was actually entitled 'The finding of Moses' and doesn't actually feature the plant.
However in the late 1800's illustrations of bible stories were widely distributed including those depicting the scene of 'Moses in the bullrushes'.
It is believed that is the reason Great Reed Mace is invariably called bullrush.
There's not a lot of people know that.....
Rog
And if the bullrushes had been on the Bridgewater the poor little sod would have capsized and drowned
