Dutch phrase

According to Babel Fish, the phrase "my furry friends and I are hungry and need a BIG bowl of porridge" translates as "mijn bontvrienden en ik ben hongerig en heb een GROTE kom havermoutpap nodig" in Dutch. However, when this is translated back into English it comes out as "my furry friends and I are hungering and need a LARGE bowl of oat malt pulp".

Perhaps we need to take our own porridge with us just in case. This Dutch oat malt pulp sounds pretty disgusting :-(

Venray Gold Cup

Frankie, defending his Gold Cup title in Holland, came in a very creditable 2nd behind Ron Kroonder. Well done to Frankie and everyone who raced in Holland this wet weekend.

One day Bev and Paul will take us bears to Holland and we will all watch the racing at Venray. Ok, Bev and Paul, get planning for next August and start saving those pennies! Oh, and do any of us speak Dutch - I want to know the Dutch for "my furry friends and I are hungry and need a BIG bowl of porridge".
