This is probably not the hand you would normally expect, sad history of this deal is North tried a 'smart' tempo thinking before double of 4♠ so partner wouldn't pull, of course south was not on the same wavelenght and bid 5♥ in half a second probably based on partner's thinking.

Worst of all was me who lead a stupid spade wich led to -850 :(.

Fluffy, you've beaten me to it.
I was about to say that this is a typical UI auction: partner doubles fast and furiously, and we pass. Partner doubles slowly and tentatively, and we pull.

The voting shows that either is a LA (FWIW I passed, with the same thoughts as Justin).

I knew by bidding 4H I would goad opponents into 4S, and partner would have S-values for his TOdbl. So I sit for 4Sx.
