After an encounter with a space-time anomaly, the Alphans find their Moon back in the Solar System on a course to re-enter Earth orbit. The celebration ends when it becomes apparent Earth is an inhospitable wasteland. The mystery deepens when they discover a duplicate Moon already in orbit and a duplicate Moonbase Alpha lying empty and deserted.
Johnny Byrne has gone on record saying that Freiberger was a good man and good producer, but not good for Space: 1999. He had gotten them a second year after the cancellation, but the changes he made did not benefit the programme

My local Starbucks, the baristas know my name anyway, because I'm in there every day, but they hate the practise too because it presents them with an unrealistic expectation that they should remember the name of every semi-regular customer they have.
If someone asks me my name because they have a genuine interest then that's fine, but to be asked your name by someone who has been directed to do so by corporate buffoons really annoys people in this country (I'll bet the Yanks love it though).
It's fuckwittery of the highest order. I've been buying coffee in Starbucks for about the last ten years. Strangely they've always managed to get the right cup of coffee to me without having to write my name on the fecking cup. It's a simple concept. You join a queue and order/pay for your drink, then you go to the end of the counter and join a little queue where you wait for your drink to be served.
It's not rocket science.
really unpopular in this country
