Jason Mason, from Bognor on Thames, is today the talk of the medical world. For the plucky ten-year old has become the first person in the UK diagnosed with Mathematical Tourettes Syndrome, or as it's better known, MDF.
His mum Doreen tells us:
"We first started noticing things were a bit amiss when for no apparent reason he would shout out Quadratic equations! That was the start of it.
Then at his auntie's wedding, in the middle of a quiet bit in the service he bellows out Cosines & Tangents!. We scarcely knew where to put ourselves quite honestly"
Professor Facker of the Royal British Legion told us:
"Zis iss not uncommon and zer is vell documented evidence to suggest zat eet is on ze increase"
Jason's dad remarks:
"Just our luck to have a kid like this. If he was gonna have this kind of thing then why can't he shout Fuck like all the other kids! It's just bloody embarrassing"
