M for Moera + a st (a stumping) + E (english) r(runs)

Back to my last two but still stumped:
7D More delicate girls go crazy over the kinks (8). I have S?I?O?E?. I can only think of slipover ?
8D Functioning swimming pool in my exclusive control (8). I have M?N?T?L?. I assume that I am on the wrong track with minutely as it doesn't parse?

7 is an anagram - your o is wrong

8 your t is wrong - a word for functioning anagrammed with two other words in the clue

8, Looks like "M on opol Y"

Hi cymro
Your 12a must be wrong

Thanks everyone. I thought post at 12A was so right!

I don't think I've ever completed a Guardian prize so quickly. I solved most of the definitions with only half the clue.
I was unfamiliar with 14a but found it with Google. How did I ever manage without him/her?

Many thanks Bunty. I'd never have guessed ast for a stumping.

First time on here. Thanks to all of you for your unknowing help over the years. I just wanted to add that there have been letters to the Guardian complaining of how difficult the cryptic crossword has become. I hope this isn't the Guardian's response. For a Saturday prize this was too easy.
