Where is the Ace Cafe?

[spicymartin]

Where is the Ace Cafe?

Hanuman Corner, Jomtien. Turn into the car park on the left hand side by the 7-Eleven just as the road turns that sharp right heading down toward the beach.

 

Which of the books d'you have?

[Shuggy]

I don't have any of them unfortunately. But if thats the sort of stuff you have in your cafe i'm gonna have to nip in on my next visit.

Ah no, sorry Shuggy, that "wish list" was for my own personal use.

This is the sort of stuff we have in our cafe.......

[Shuggy]

Will nip in anyway. I have a great (and cheap) secod hand bookshop near me so will have a look if any of your wish list is on the shelves.

 

I've met Val McDermid in Melbourne last year. Very funny and extremely charismatic woman. Not what I expected after having read some of her stuff.

That's EXTREMELY kind of you mate. Cash or beer or food.... up to you, as they say.

 

Don't suppose you live anywhere near the Melbourne Harley-Davidson shop do you?
