Well done. Had me strained... (which is the word I couldn't get out of my head - annoying when that happens)

;)Cheers, I chose to ignore his childish comment, I think the fact it was tongue in cheek was more than obvious, but I'll hardly lose any sleep over it. :rofl:

Finally to finish off mine I have

A king twice overthrown, revolutionary destroyer being an exceptional person.

4 and 4

First word: 'R' blank 'R' blank
Second word: 'A' blank 'I' blank

Rare ?

Yes - I've just got it. The first word was easy enough but I only got the second word by utilising my awesome google fu in very creative ways.

I don't really know why some of it fits and I don't know what it means...


Spoiler:
rara avis


ETA I see Fred's got it as well - my reasoning for rara was different his.
