Perhaps you should try it a second time and then trade with me

I can try a second time if you can trade for a classic Motörhead set - yes Philthy and Lemmy both died last year, but I know for a fact that they signed a lot at most shows during 40 years 1975 to 2015 so it is not a "crazy request".... and any guitarist of the era (Eddie, Robbo or Wurz) is fine! (Long time Motörhead fan, saw them many times but stupidly skipped their last show and didn´t try to get autographs....)

As for Gorbachev´s English skills I found this: "He does. When he was touring the UK and met Thatcher in 1984, he spoke English to the press. But he's used a translator since he became General Secretary and after.". So he did not seem to use his English for the last 40 years, and is of rather poor health so it may be too much of an effort or something at this point.

You are right, maybe I should really try to write him in Russian.
But unfortunately, I have no Motörhead atograph to trade :/
