[Desktopped]

thanks for your prompt answers

[fiction-factory]

As is often the case with RTE, for 10a and 5d I can see some of the wordplay but not all of it

[dannyk13]

FF
10a.o(nothing) +anagram of shown in

[Toorak]

10 is an anagram of o shown in

[fiction-factory]

Okay thanks- hadn't noticed that anagram- I was trying to get something (about losing Eve) from the EVE in revelations.
I can see the IT IS on the end of arthritis but not the rest

[fiction-factory]

Can anyone parse the arthritis one for me please?

[Mamyalynne]

Not seeing it beyond what you have FF.

[fiction-factory]

If there was something else in the clue that points to sounding like Author/Arthur I could see it

[donny48]

I saw joint problems and arthritis would fit the letters given.
I fail to see any other connections but as you say it is RTE.

Thanks donny/Mamya. i've tried saying it a Dublin accent -air try itis- but that didn't help.
Does anyone know if this is the exact clue?
