A Glasgow thug brutally attacked his girlfriend because she was being "annoying".
David McWilliamson, 38, turned on Emma Lorimer at her home in Springburn and belted her with a broken wine bottle.
He had earlier told her: "You are just being annoying."
McWilliamson pled guilty at Glasgow Sheriff Court to assaulting Miss Lorimer to her severe injury and to the danger of her life.
The court heard the pair were in a relationship for several weeks prior to the incident.
They were drinking with Miss Lorimer's mother who was later assisted into a taxi by the victim.
When Miss Lorimer returned, McWilliamson's "demeanour changed" and became "aggressive."

The pair then argued when McWilliamson made the annoying comment.
Prosecutor Lauren Donnelly said: "He grabbed a wine bottle and smashed it off the TV unit in the living room.
"He kept possession of the bottle neck and swung it at Miss Lorimer, striking her to the jaw which resulted in a wound."
The victim initially fled into the kitchen but was tailed by McWilliamson who kicked her on the body.
Miss Lorimer then took shelter at a neighbour's property as a 999 call was made.
She was later treated in hospital with two stitches to the jaw wound.
Sentence was deferred pending background reports until the end of the month.
Sheriff Tom Hughes said: "The position is this is a serious matter and you have a record of previous convictions for violence and have been sent to jail in the past for it."
McWilliamson, who appeared from custody, had his remand continued meantime.
