! Hearts and a minor
I should have bid 5♥ at my first call, but hindsight is 20/20. So here we are...
How high are you willing to compete?

I should have mentioned that. I asked if the 2 spade bid meant anything, they said it was at least 6+ spades, and stronger than using a stolen bid double.

opponents are nuts, but they seem to have agreements, don't se the point on competing any further unless aprtner has diamonds, so show your diamonds and bring partner into the party

On that note, after some discussion, I think there is some merits to having 4♣ or 4♦ earlier be a "fit jump." Whether the "fit jump" shows a real suit, or shows a suit that Responder hopes partner has, is debatable. I think a "catering" call makes the most sense. Thus, 4♦ (instead of 4♥) would show heart support (and willingness to play at the four-level) with support for partner if he has diamonds as his second suit.
In that event, I would have bid 4♦ the first round, and then 5♦ the second-round (to indicate MORE that simple support for diamonds but actually a real diamond suit, and great heart support).

I don't agree with my previous bid.
