Hi All,
The company I had the interview with that I was sweating on came back to the agent today, they are 'too busy, to take anyone on at this point in time', Umm OK why interview someone, leave them hanging over the weekend if you know you are too busy. I am confused as the feedback was I am told 'He is what we need, but we haven't got time to seat him in the firm'  I do have another interview coming up on Friday...

That's a bugger - but perhaps you are better off out of it.
Most likely, they have money problems and don't want to pay what you are worth...
But just send a polite "thank you" and if they do find the time later, etc. ...
Other wise, good luck for Friday! 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

What a moronic statement!  You're better off not working for them.

My sentiments exactly. Of course, it could also be that they have read some of his lounge posts during the weekend... 
Just kidding!

That is exactly the problem! You were not sufficiently enthusiastic.

While if you work for companies that makes silly mistakes you'll end up unemployed anyway...

Usually I find when companies do this they are covering up a drug smuggling operation and they're looking for a fall guy. 
Seriously good luck on Friday!

You have much experience in that field, have you?

Agreeing with some (but oddly, not all) previous posters.
If they're this inconsiderate of you now, when they're trying to convince you they're good to work for as much as you trying to convince them you're good to hire - how will they treat you when you depend upon them for a paycheck?
For some reason, I'd think their consideration of you will not improve with time. I'd not contact them with any kind of thank-you or otherwise, as the sound of the reply seems to have been through a third party. Let them worry about it.
If they're the only port in a storm - sure you'll dock there. If, however, the next interview works out, consider yourself to have ducked a bullet.

It's generally a lot easier to get a job if you've already got one!
Hence my "thank you" to keep (direct) channels open. Even if they are sunshines to work for, it's unlikely to be that bad in the early days, and a pay packet is a pay packet!

The only answer to this is to start taking out the company's executives one at a time. Make it look like an accident, but not too much line an accident. They'll get the message.
Of course, I'm kidding... Or am I?

Perhaps they found your Codeproject profile and had second thoughts after realising what type of people you mix with on the internet.

I had something similar happen to me once. Had a recruiter contact me for what looked to be a great job. Went through two rounds of interviews with the team leader and then a VP, only to have them back out saying that the position didn't materialize. I assumed I had messed up the interview somehow and went on with my life. About 5 months later I saw the position pop up on some job boards so I applied. A brief interview with the VP I had seen 5 months earlier and they immediately sent me an offer.
It turns out that the VP was neighbors with my old boss at the time. He didn't realize it until the second interview and didn't want to "poach" me from his neighbor. When I had applied (instead of them trying to recruit me) it was all he needed to tell his neighbor "sorry but he approached us".
