Excellent points!

How about "Love at first sight"

Ooh - good one.

It's also contradictory.

How about 'if at first you don't succeed ..try again'.

“Sounds like a goose farting in the fog”

1. I’ve never heard a goose fart, so don’t know what that sounds like

I've been told this is a Brummie saying. Bill is William Shakespeare and Stratford-on-Avon is to the South East, from where bad rainstorms come. It's a weather warning
