Cheers for that, i'm not sure why I was getting different behaviour between the nightlies and 1.9.1 on that, but they both seem to do the same (correct) thing when adding the timer as a child of the request that I want delayed.
Just out of interest - what are the release/development plans for JMeter, is there a page with some info?

For example, you can place listeners anywhere at a given level, including before any samplers, and they will see all the sample results in that level - and below. Timers behave similarly. Quote from one of Mike Stover's postings: "You can attach a timer at any point in the test tree. If you attach it to the threadgroup, it will apply to every sampler within the threadgroup. If you attach it just to the first sample, it will only delay the first sample." If necessary, you can always add a Simple Controller to the test plan.
