Just killing some time here and noticed a few posts from people not quite familiar with the EU 24 hour system,. So I thought I would help out a little. (not meant in any negative way)

K...US have parted their 24 hours into 2 x 12 hours AM and PM, EU have 24 hours. The simplest way to calculate the EU time is to, when you reach PM, add or subtract 12 hours (whichever you like). So if for exampel the servers are going live at 15.00, just subtract 12 hours and you have the PM time. Which is 3 PM.

For a more detailed list:

01 AM = 01.00
02 AM = 02.00
03 AM = 03.00
04 AM = 04.00
05 AM = 05.00
06 AM = 06.00
07 AM = 07.00
08 AM = 08.00
09 AM = 09.00
10 AM = 10.00
11 AM = 11.00
12 AM = 12.00
01 PM = 13.00
02 PM = 14.00
03 PM = 15.00
04 PM = 16.00
05 PM = 17.00
06 PM = 18.00
07 PM = 19.00
08 PM = 20.00
09 PM = 21.00
10 PM = 22.00
11 PM = 23.00
12 PM = 24.00 actually it ends at 23.59 and from then its 00.00 - 00.01 - 00.02 and so forth.

I know about the 12 AM and 12 PM. The AM/PM system actually starts at 00.00.01 AM or PM and some other subtleties to both systems, but you get the idea :)

And yes, I am bored :)

Actually, I believe 12 noon is 12 pm. ;)
