A mousehover popup, very nice!
Just... why is the name of the day displayed twice in the hint?
("dinsdag" = tuesday)

Ah, I see the problem! Take a look at the Regional and language settings of Windows and compare the "Long date" field of various configurations...
Dutch (Netherlands): "woensdag 19 mei 2004"
English (Australia): "Wednesday, 19 May 2004"
English (United Kingdom): "19 May 2004"
English (United States): "Wednesday, 19 May 2004"
I assume HorusUK is using the UK settings which does not include the name of the day in the long date format. TLB apparently shows the weekday followed by the long date...
I can think of two obvious solutions:
1. Use "Customize..." in Windows' Regional settings and change the long date format so it does not include the weekday. This is merely a temporary work-around.
2. Use the date format as specified in the plugin's properties (or add another field for the balloon hint). I think this is the best solution, because the Regional settings are systemwide settings and these should not need to be changed just for TLB ;-)

Going through some of the presets is interesting... It would appear that even the different versions of English can't agree how to display dates.
