1♠ for me. What else?

EDIT:

However, I agree this auction can sometimes be tricky, especially if you have an OK hand and length in one of the opponents' suits. For example, a hand I played from earlier today where I sat west:

What is your call? What are the meanings of 2♣, 2♦ and double in your partnership?

Yeah, 1♠, was there a hesitation or something?

I'd bid 2♠. This is quite a good hand opposite a takeout double of clubs, though the possibility of diamond ruffs is a bit worrying.

What else?

2♠ is a possibility so long as you have an understanding this doesn't promise the world's fair.

1♠. I'm no longer obliged to bid, so I promise something.

Tempted by 2♠, but not sure if I'd bid it at the table, the 5 diamonds are a big plus in that partner will be overruffing and the next hand following. 1♠ most of the time.

Partner probably has something that means we're taking 500 out of anything they bid at this vul, but I'm not doubling 1♦.

I would bid 1NT on this hand.
2♣ = cue bid, usually both majors, doesn't promise a rebid
2♦ = natural, 5+ diamonds
Double = 4 diamonds, penalties (or 5 diamonds too strong to bid 2D)

No. I seem to have an obvious 4S bid now.

I'd try 2♠ 1st round. The hcps are all in the right place. Having bid 1 I would now bid 4.
