You could define an elisp function, like:
(defun insert-wacky-time ()
(interactive)
(insert
(format-time-string "%d %B %Y, %A - h.%02H:%02M")))
And then bind it to a key, or call it using M-x. See the documentation
for `format-time-string' as to the details of the various escape
sequences.
BTW that will use the current locale's names for day/month; if you want
it to always use "standard" names, you should force format-time-string
to use the "C" locale, by binding `system-time-locale':
(defun insert-wacky-time ()
(interactive)
(let ((system-time-locale "C"))
(insert
(format-time-string "%d %B %Y, %A - h.%02H:%02M"))))
