10a Breathing - stiff won't be......E (pliable ultimately) in BRA THING ( obsession with underwear)
8d Dogberry - confused person

DOG (setter) BY (times) ERR ( sin)

Could 6a be PINHEAD ? Do you have any letters?
Question Author
Many thanks. 6a is now p?n?e?d so pinhead looks right.

Ta
6d...can't decide if its NUTS or NUTT. Both would seem to fit.
what is the clue mikey?
If 6a is pinhead then wouldn't 6d begin with a p? (don't have the crossword to know if the answers have to be adjusted in any way)
No , 5a is pinhead. Clue for 6d is Items securing screws - having one loose.
Also 21a..."Pool, oxygen on top" (4)...I think it could be LIDO...on top (lid) and o for Oxygen...anybody any other ideas please !
Yes LIDO - your explanation is good
Thanks Roslyn !
Hi
8d is Dogberry from Shakespeare's Much Ado about nothing - dog=setter, err = sin. inside by
6a is pinhead as P is head of pillock who is a pinhead - i think
10a is weird - there is a botox treatment that uses bee stings - so all i can get out of this is beestring which is how the treatment is sometimes typed on the web.(and in the Daily mail - i checked) that makes bee = obsession (bee in bonnet) and string the skimpy woman's thong as in G string - but I 'm not confident
