The speed of these feasibility studies puts other parts of the country to shame. The underground monorail to Antarctica has so much potential and even though it will never happen as it is not physically possible we should all be proud of our highly paid feasibility consultants, they offer us such value for money!” As usual the Patong Times refrains from commenting on political matters, especially those that involve large sums of money being spent on consultants.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></div> <div class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN lang=EN-AU style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></FONT></div> <div class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN
