Texting and Chat Abbreviations

I am an elderly Australian gentleman and I applaud one of our members from the UK who used a couple of abbreviations in his post today. When I was a boy every young person in Australia knew what SWALK on the back of of an envelope meant. But some abbreviations have not reached "Down Under" yet. I found the above site on the internet, and later to-day , I will go to that site and seek illumination. Meanwhile, some kind member may help me decode. I think we should move with the times. Sorry this post is a bit verbose.
Thanks C.U.L.A.
