Initially have your sleep then experience rapid instability and delirium (8)

Thanks, Tyke and FJ re #21. That's fiendish! I'd even tracked down an author called Ford who wrote a book on tantrums.

English footballer who has become very prominent in the "Black lives matter" movement, mattrom (though I didn't see the "Rash" either - I don't follow football!)

Thanks for all your entries this week. Not a bad turnout after a slow start - 24 clues from 10 setters.
Welcome to Jono with his/her erudite debut entries. It's good to see dorrien again, or is it just a lightening visit?
I enjoyed the homophones from chrise 2 and dorrien 22, the acrostics from richardk 6&7 and tyke 31.
Liked "shyster" in aristo 2 and jono 9, the anagrams from richardk 13, FJ14, paulh 32, the subtractive anagrams from richardk15, FJ 27, paulh 24, jono 28.

As runners-up I have paulh 4, richardk 7 (I like the plurality of 'starts' as an indicator), ginge 12.
Perhaps because it spins a yarn, I've chosen FJ's 19 as the winner.

Mass possibly where converted atheists pray to forget the past

Well done, FJ. Here is your prize.

Mmmm - aren't we a day premature, mattrom? (As was the setting - have you had a leap-day down under?)

....or a minus leap day!

Guilty as charged, and not fully awake!
Sorry to short change everyone, but there it is.

Thanks for the several mentions Mattrom, it was indeed my debut here. (Jon, he/him, for the avoidance of doubt). I’ll be back! And congrats to Fj for a very nice clue. Cheers all!

OK, thanks mattrom and for the mention. Congrats FJ.

Could someone explain the clue, please? I see the subtractive anagram (very clever!), but where's the definition?
