Yeah, that'd be great. Thanks!

Ah, good. Haven't thought of that. Those germans...

(on the other hand, I wouldn't expect anyone in Germany to actually not use 24h clock format, but oh well)

One other thing - create just a single Date object and then call setHours(13) on it for the second format.
