Be less absurd than I, maybe I hope the grammar pleases Ken. :P

SO I am getting back into bridge now, winding up to some trials, and am feeling a bit rusty in every day situations. So what would you do here?

3♠. A little aggressive, but I like the location of my honors.

3 ♠ is "aggressive"? I would call it cristal clear..
I thought about 4 Spades, but Partnr will bid it with the right cards anyway.

Three spades is enough with flat distribution, the fit jump increasing the likelihood of partner actually holding four spades. A responsive double is just likely to confuse everyone with no benefit.

Another option was selected against a pair you might face in the trials - let's pass to see if they both understand that three clubs is a fit bid. A well-timed action, glad I'm not a selector.
