The conversation got real and a little uncomfortable at Old Tymerz Ntinda on Friday night, as Gilbey’s Hangouts returned for its third edition, turning up the heat on one of modern relationships’ most whispered topics: phone passwords.
Host Ronnie McVex steered the evening into bold territory, asking a simple yet explosive question: Should couples share everything, including access to each other’s phones?
What followed was an unfiltered clash of perspectives. Men in the circle argued passionately for privacy, insisting passwords are mainly for security, not secrecy. “It’s not about hiding anything. It’s about trusting me to have my own space,” one guest said.
But the ladies weren’t having it. Many fired back that no password signals unity and transparency. “If you’ve got nothing to hide, why lock it? Secrets kill trust,” a female attendee countered, sparking cheers and groans in equal measure.
The debate cut deep, revealing real emotions and lived experiences. Some admitted hiding behind passwords feeds conspiracy; others stood firm that trust doesn’t require an open phone policy. Laughter, gasps, and honest storytelling filled the room long into the night.
Amid the spirited arguments, guests sipped Gilbey’s signature cocktails, keeping the mood social and chilled. Old Tymerz’s nostalgic old-school playlist provided the perfect backdrop, relaxed enough to let their guard down but lively enough to keep the energy high.
The third edition drew an even bigger crowd, proving Ugandans are hungry for real, unfiltered conversations in a safe, enjoyable space.
“What stood out most tonight was how openly people expressed themselves and connected through honest conversation. After long and demanding weeks, people are looking for spaces where they can relax, share opinions freely, laugh with friends, and enjoy real moments together. Gilbey’s Hangouts continues to create that environment where conversations flow naturally, and everyone feels part of the experience.” Gilbey’s Brand Manager Raymond Karama said
Gilbey’s Hangouts continue every Friday at Old Tymerz Ntinda.
