neither alfa or romeo in the car maker's name has anything to do with the phonetic letters, btw... alfa is an acronym and romeo was some dude's surname

@Jafe Wow. I thought I knew all the states and (internal) territories of Australia -- there aren't that many of them, after all -- but (due to your comment here) I looked up time zones in Austl. and saw something mentioned about the Jervis Bay Territory... which for all these years I never even knew existed. Mind blown.
LANCIA DELTA (def of an 'italian family car'): reorder (put LANCIA 'On the' DELTA) DELTA (mouth of the Nile) LAN (o L dm A ri N er - regularly) + cia (spies)
@AncientSwordRage No quite. "A on B" can clue both A + B or B + A, in an across clue at least. In a down clue "A on B" means A + B, of course. The standalone C4s are neither across nor down, so I'll just use the more general across rule. (I should have used "by" instead of "on", I think.)
I don't think I can massage the C4 anymore, and instead I'll just rub by temples >.<
I just want it dead and buried right now
CCCC: Barrage of arrows say, aimed away from the bow; you must turn aside arrowhead, and duck. Our man puts himself before family, finding goddess removed from gates of this Nile-side necropolis? (6, 2, 3, 5)

@Stiv I owe a hat tip on my latest puzzle to you. I was relaying to my daughter your recent "Right Said Fred" puzzle, and I realized the puzzling value inherent in the title of "I'm Too Sexy".
@AncientSwordRage This is VALLEY OF THE KINGS - probably easier to explain the wordplay inline: [Barrage of arrows say] VOLLEY, [aimed away from the bow]; AFT [you must turn aside arrowhead, and duck] (O <-> A). [Our man] (HE) [puts himself before family] (+KIN), [finding goddess removed from gates] (G(-ate)S) of [this Nile-side necropolis] (def)?
@JeremyDover Ha, well you did well to put it to use! Once I realised what was going on (at last) I was very impressed with the songs you'd managed to find and utilise as wordplay - must have taken a lot of searching!
Ah, just re-read your previous message correctly now. I can see why you would have considered that 'cheating' - you could have constructed pretty much anything you liked that way! A challenging build indeed...
Let's just say I'm very glad Dodie's self-esteem capped at 6/10...otherwise this whole effort might have been stillborn. Getting #1 convinced me I could actually do this :-)

Those are the letters I have to work with. No spaces or anything.. and this is the hint.

Don’t write about me or you’ll run out of time.
Can anyone help me figure this out??
