Ricardo Palmer, sales rep, and Aaron-Daniel Glanville, university student, were caught catching up on their friendship at Alexxya on the Mall Plaza.

If you could change one thing about yourself, what would that be?

Ricardo: Nothing!

Aaron: My height, 5'6", not really the best. 5'9" would be better in my opinion.

What advice would you give to your Jamaican brothers and sisters?

Ricardo: Love yourself, be yourself and aim for the stars.

Aaron: Get your education done with first, after that, yourself. That would make life and the country a better place; after that, the sky's the limit.

What do you enjoy most about your friendship?

Ricardo: Honesty and the communication.

Aaron: The ease with which we can pick up where we left off after doing something stupid.

What was your last charitable deed?

Ricardo: Working with the less fortunate children via the National Youth Service.

Aaron: Donating clothes to The Salvation Army.


Marlon Campbell, a media liaison, and Floyd Green, an attorney-at-law, are not only friends and business partners but soul brothers as well.

If you had the opportunity to take over the country's affairs, what changes would you put in place?

Marlon: Stronger prosecution of all crimes and reforming of the justice system. Separation of powers. Better tax collection and more equality in said collection.

Floyd: Mondatory parenting sessions to ensure that parents are properly equipped to pass on the best values to their children.

What do you hate most about Jamaican culture, and why?

Marlon: Our glorification of the wrong role models - dons are a perfect example.

Floyd: The lack of order which at times invades all aspects of our existence, resulting in reduced productivity and a lack of dicipline, increasing levels of crime and violence.

What is the weirdest thing that has ever happened to both of you?

Marlon: Can't think of anything.

Floyd: Most things are well organised, so nothing weird happens.
