So Jonathan Ross bows out after 10-years presenting 'Friday Night With Jonathan Ross' for the BBC.

Wasn't too keen on his first guest in last night's show, Mickey Rourke.

Jackie Chan.seemed a very nice honest person, with a cheeky glint in his eyes, very entertaining.

David Beckham, was the last guest, and although in the past I have not had much time for him, last night he came across as a very caring person, and what he said about our brave troops in Afghanistan, should make some on here feel ashamed.

/// The LA Galaxy midfielder spoke about his pre-World Cup trip to visit British troops in Afghanistan.

He said he wanted to raise awareness about the "amazing job" they were doing.

"Everybody needs to realise what these guys are doing, we should be really proud.

"A lot of them said they feel like they're forgotten. I said none of you will ever be forgotten - they're doing the most amazing job I've ever witnessed," he said. ///

Well said David.

Totally agree about David he was very very sincere and it was very emotiove. Mickey Rourke is a very complex guy and I have alot of respect for his honesty and attitude to the movie industry! And a film with Stallone, Bruce Willis, Jet Li, Dolph Lungren, Arnie, I mean!!!

Jackie Chan is a genius and the new Karate Kid will be excellent

Roxy Music were crap as usual and I switched off when Ross started his thank yous can;'t stand the guy.

Must admit I've never had much time for Beckham. I've always found him a bit of a Bimbo - reasonably easy on the eye, if you like that sort of thing, but only good at playing football and that's debateable.

But I've got to realising of late that he's probably only really what others have made him out to be. Whether he can read or not doesn't really matter and he's pretty harmless, all told. I mean, it's not as though he's a nasty, arrogant character. He seems to have plenty of time for his fans and to be ready to admit his faults and mistakes in life. Certainly our kids could (and do) have some far worse role models than Becks.

I will never again watch a film with Mickey Rourke in it after he confessed to being a supporter and funder of the IRA many years ago.

david beckham is a living legend...he is very humble not like some of these so called ''stars''.....

What would you think Roxy Music got as a salary for their 2 songs, they had 4 backing singers plus about another 6 in the band.
When you think about their traveling cost and probably hotel bills I'm sure it must have cost the BBC a fortune for 2 old songs to be played?

You call that row 'Songs'?

I love Virginia Plain......

Any comments to make regarding David's visit to Afghanistan, to see our troops?

[Captin Kirk]

I really love Roxy Music especially the first couple of albums ... For Your Pleasure has been very influential but it was sadly for me rather painful to watch, old man's bluster ... somethings just are better left in the past ...

I don't think Becks deserves the stick he gets, at the moment a great role model, lets see if he can keep it up. i for one wouldn't mind him getting more caps.

[Dris]

Yeah I have AOG -he referred to them as English troops and that sticks in my craw.

[kawakiri]

Dris, not everyone forgets its Brits, he had just come back from an English trip (albeit not very successful), benefit of the doubt.

[Dris]

AOG asked for an opinion and I gave him one.
Bad craic if you ask me or the Welsh or the Irish or the Americans or the Canadians or the...........Beckham did a great job without a doubt in raising morale -he should have stopped there.

Im off to a Help for the Heroes benefit tonight......................................
...

[mightyWBA]

He's not the sharpest tool in the box Dris...
It's our British armed forces and most of us know that.
God bless you for going to the help for heroes tonight

I hate to say this, but of course they'll be forgotten, in ten years time the public won't give a tinker's cuss for the wounded and fallen in Afghanistan or Iraq.
The same way the troops who fought in the Falklands (a popular war) have been forgotten.
AOG, you're a WWII veteran, do you remember "The D-Day Dodgers" how about the troops fighting in Burma?
Who talks about that now?
It tickles me when I hear politicians talk of this golden age when there was "a contract" between ex-soldiers and the government THERE NEVER HAS BEEN SUCH A THING.
Why was Wellington called "The Iron Duke", what happened to the sailors after the battle of Trafalgar and if you're still not convinced then read Sir Evelyn Wood's auto-biography (a major Victorian military celeb, one of the Wolsleley gang, a supposed immortal) when he assumed command of a new regiment.

Hey Stu -wasnt looking for plaudits but cheers mate x
Great night -Black watch cadets to start the proceedings and man it did my heart proud.The BW stationed at Fort George were given the oppo but decided to hand onto the cadets and I dont think there was a dry eye through sheer pride and to see our youth progressing -they were a credit.
