Honey, let's by an oil rig...

Norwegian firm Statoil are selling off an oil rig. Yeps, really. 

The oil is drying up near the well so instead of scrapping the rig, Statoil are offering it for sale for just 13 pence, although the new owner must bear the cost of transporting the platform elsewhere.

The advert reads:  "Platform for sale in good condition: 20 rooms, panoramic sea view, plenty of space for a helicopter.  No Carpark"

The platform in question is the Huldra platform.

Got a space in your backyard?  Then start bidding.
